At least they are trying. Nissan is becoming the Toyota of 98-12

Agreed. The 86 will need to sell for 20K to compete with the far more stunning MX5-RF. Hell, there's even a sweet new Fiat Spider to compete with. It's done. They failed and they know it. The plans for a vert and a blown version were tanked.
The 86 will probably be resurrected as a proper tuner car/hot rod in another decade or so, but for now, its over.
The LFA is a fantastic car, but also stunning failure. It's way too much money for what you get, and so hardly anyone owns them.
What's the third one?
I think the Supra will be excellent -- a 6 cyl motor plus boost with nice lines on the body = excellent sportscar value for those who prefer Japanese style and reliability over American muscle.
I think, akin to the ancient, yet ongoing, Mustang v. Camaro battle, I anticipate a Supra v. Z war for the soul of drivers who like Japanese cars.
If I can possibly swing it, I am getting one of them by or before 2019, and can't wait to test drive both
